01x12 - In the Name of Love

[bunniefuu]

Eat this too.

I'm good.

Do you like it?

Anything else you want to eat?

No. —Cucumber salad?

Meatball soup or
seafood soup perhaps?

No. —Don't you want
any side dishes?

Forget it.

We won't find her.

We can't just give up.

What else can we do?

Maybe she has already
boarded the plane.

I'll check with
the counter again.

Wait for me here.

Madam Hsu.

How could you do this to me?

Please don't press for answers.

We can't tell you
anything right now.

What did Hu Ta-dong do to you?

Where is Ching-yao?

I'm begging you.
You have to help us.

Please turn yourself in.

Your boyfriend is
also one of the pawns

in Hu Ta-dong's plan.

Councillor stages sh**ting
with wanted criminal

to get public's support
in upcoming election.

Well, we have a common enemy.

Hsu Tze-wei.

Recent polls put
Councillor Yang Chih-hsiao

1% ahead of his opponent

but now, news of
his shady dealings

are surfacing.

According to sources

wanted criminal Hu Ta-dong

who fired a warning
shot at Yang Chih-hsiao

has yet to be caught.

The two had a
clandestine meeting...

"Hunky councillor
Yang Chih-hsiao's"

"checkered past exposed."

Wow, he has a pretty
colourful past.

He was even a...
repeat theft offender.

What should we do

if we have to arrest Tze-wei?

There's no way she
k*lled Hong Ke-ming.

That Hong Konger was lying.

But we have evidence on her.

Besides, she was
caught on camera

at the crime scene.

She was?

What should we do?

Should we make an
arrest if we see her?

Just go by the book.

Come on, get my statement.

Inform Captain that I'm here.

Your call will be
forwarded to voicemail.

Fees apply after the beep tone.

Please end the call
if you don't wish

to leave a message.

How can you not
know where he is?

What the hell are you doing?

We've busy fielding
calls from the media.

Everyone's looking for him.

You're not doing your job right!

I know, but I'm swamped here.

I'm back.

Dad, take a seat
first, all right?

I'm sorry. I took time off

to take care of
personal matters.

Stop whatever you're
doing and hear me out.

About those false
reports in the tabloids

here's how we're
going to handle it.

Fan. —Yes.

Contact a lawyer.

Tell him to make a
list of everything

we can use to sue for libel.

And send lawyer's letters
to those tabloids.

Got it. —Good.

A-Syun. —Yes.

At our next press conference

I don't want you
to include anything

that has the slightest
bearing on the election.

Got it. —OK.

When we face the media

I don't want any mention
of the election. OK?

Keep that in mind.

Hi, I need a favour from you.

Please tell the residents

that I'm a man of integrity.

If they have doubts,
tell them to call me.

Or better yet, I can visit them

and explain myself in person.

Sure. —Thanks for your help.

I'm sorry for all the
inconvenience I've caused.

Let's pull together
for this battle.

Remember why we're doing this.

Remember what our
hard work is for.

If all our efforts are
undone by mere gossip

no amount of apologies
will ever make up for it.

We have to ride out
this storm together.

OK? —Yeah!

I'm counting on you.
Let's get cracking...

Councillor Yang.

What is our stance on.

Detective Hsu's m*rder charge?

If we back her up and
she's found guilty

it will look really bad on us.

The investigation
is still ongoing

but I believe my
friend is innocent.

All right, that's
what I'll go with.

Dad, sorry to make you worry.

We'll handling it.

Very on the ball.

Is it because the
election is coming up?

Well, everyone has
been working so hard...

Forget it.

You're free to
choose your friends

but don't embarrass
me at the election.

I would never do that.

I'm your son, you know.

A good general must
not only fight battles

but also take care
of his family.

Here.

I've looked into
that wanted criminal.

He's a nobody. Just
some rabid mutt.

What did you ever do to him?

He came to me.
—What does he want?

Money to flee? —No.

He was the man who
came to the hotel

and drove my mother
away 23 years ago.

I've verified it.

He even showed me a
photo to prove it.

Be careful then.

Drive safe.

Hello?

Are you off work?

Yes.

I...

What's the matter?

I just talked to him.

He still won't give it to us.

Why not?

What more does he want?

I'm really useless, aren't I?

Of course not! Don't say that.

You're not useless.

You're just trying
to protect me.

You're so brave.

Don't worry.

I'll swear I'll get
it back for you.

So don't you worry.

Promise me you'll be careful.

Look at what he
did to Madam Hsu.

That man is capable of anything.

I won't let anybody hurt you.

I will protect you.

I'm serious, he
actually said that.

So, that's all I have to say

with regard to the
allegations in those tabloids.

We're definitely
suing them for libel

for saying that I
colluded with a criminal.

That's Councillor Yang for you.

He's a straight sh**ter.

And he won't hesitate
to sue gossipmongers

who spread those lies about him.

I really didn't do it. —I see.

Thank you for agreeing
to this interview.

No problem.

I'll send a copy of the
write-up to your PR.

Could we take some
pictures of you?

Sure, no problem.

Sorry to interrupt,
Councillor Yang.

With regard to Detective Hsu's

alleged involvement in
Hong Ke-ming's death

she has just turned herself in.

Any comments on that?

S-She did? When... —Excuse me.

Councillor Yang has
other places to be.

If you need further information

please give us some
time to find out more

before we answer any
questions you might have.

Can he comment on the case?

Allow us to find
out more. A-Syun.

Please take over.
—Sorry about that...

Why did you k*ll him? Is
this vigilante justice?

You claimed Hu
Ta-dong abducted you.

Are you trying to pin
the m*rder on him?

No photos, please.

Councillor Yang got you
to turn yourself in?

Are you here to
turn yourself in?

I didn't turn myself in.

I'm here to clarify
the situation.

Could you explain yourself?

Sorry. The investigation
is confidential.

Please do not take
any more photos.

Are you saying you did it?

Could you step out of the car

and explain yourself?

Chih-hsiao.

Going to the District
Prosecutors' Office?

Yes, I want to find
out what's going on.

You can't go.

If you go, that means
you're backing her up.

So I will. She didn't do it.

Don't you know
that by going there

all our hard work
for your campaign

will be for nothing?

Fan.

I need you to track
down someone for me.

Please?

I want to do what I can for her.

OK. I get it now.

Anything else?

Nothing.

All right then. We'll
take a 30-minute break.

The evidence is
not in your favour.

Even though you've
saved my son's life

I can't give you any
special treatment.

I don't need special
treatment. I didn't do it.

Exclusive news.

A sergeant from.

Criminal Investigation
of 3rd Precinct

is in trouble with the law.

Said female officer is now

facing charges for the
alleged m*rder of...

She has been arrested.
Hand it over.

She hasn't been convicted yet.

That's not my problem.

How is it not your problem?

You have to appear in court

to testify against her.

I'm going to the
police right now!

We'll go down together!

Go ahead.

If you want it to
leak out, go ahead.

You went back on your word!

I did everything you told me to!

I went back on my word?

You have the cheek to say that?

I held up my end of the deal.

I just want her to know

how it feels to be
a m*rder suspect!

Well, you got what you wanted!

What more do you want?

I got what I wanted?

You think?

Well, I don't think so!

Need I remind you, if not for me

that c*ck little b*stard

would still be
walking all over you.

You'd be writing his thesis

running his errands

and putting up with his mocking.

And you'd just have to
grin and suck it up.

What would your
girlfriend think of you?

That's enough.

That's enough!

Enough...

Have you forgotten
what he did to you?

Did you forget what
brought you down this path?

You and me, we're
not so different.

We want those who bullied us

to pay for what they did.

We want them to know

what it's like to be the victim.

Isn't that right?

I'm a man of my word.

I really want to
do this with you.

We'll both do our parts.

All right?

All right?

All right?

You used to be simpler
and more guileless.

Well, I'm really lucky.

I met this great classmate.

These are all from him.

And this too. This
is good stuff.

And it has so many uses.

It's even approved
for medical use

in some countries.

Isn't this just fascinating?

Don't you like the
new and improved me?

Wait, you're talking
back at me now?

Someone needs a spanking.

Let me have it.

What are you talking about?

Your thesis. Let me have it

after you're done writing it.

That's not funny.

Do I look like I'm joking?

Who gave you this sofa?

And that sound system.

Not forgetting

the key to a whole new world.

Who gave you this, huh?

I appreciate everything
you've done for me.

But I can't let
you have my thesis.

I heard that your girlfriend

is a famous private
tutor in Hong Kong.

Let's see what my nifty

little spy camera
managed to record.

If it's something steamy

I'll post it online.

Give it to me...

Come on, it's the
digital age now.

I have it all in here.

So it's settled then.

When your thesis is done

put my name "Hong
Ke-ming" on it.

Don't your hands hurt?

Ching-yao...

I'm not going to
do anything to you.

I just want to know

why you framed
Tze-wei for m*rder.

I beg you. Don't ask
me about Madam Hsu.

You're the only one
who can save her now.

Are you under some
kind of threat?

Tell me, I can help you.

Help me?

I don't need your help.

Tell me what happened!

You're just as responsible

for the plight Madam Hsu is in.

I'm not the only one to blame.

What do you mean by that?

I know what's going
on between you

and Hu Ta-dong,
so drop your act.

What are you talking about?

Madam Hsu will be fine.

So leave me alone.

Ching-yao!

At least tell me why you did it.

I'm just trying to
protect the person I love.

I now announce the results of

the pre-trial investigation.

In the case of the
m*rder of Hong Ke-ming

the prosecution believes

the defendant,
Sergeant Hsu Tze-wei

to be a likely suspect.

However, after taking
all information

into consideration

there are no signs of collusion

and the defendant poses
no risk of flight.

Therefore, the prosecution
rules as follows.

The defendant will be given bail

set at NT$1 million

with a ban on travelling
out of the country.

Prove your innocence

with the same
determination you displayed

for arresting my son.

This is all I can do to help.

Do you feel guilty
for k*lling him?

Sergeant Hsu, do you
have anything to say

to the victim's family?

Why did you k*ll him?

Who paid for your bail?

Was your father a
k*ller? —No photos.

You're the daughter of a k*ller.

Will that affect the
outcome of your trial?

Comment, please?

Your comments, please.

—Get out of here! —m*rder*r!

Why are you staying here?

—Get lost! —Your
father is a m*rder*r!

—Shameless! —Get lost!

Daddy...

You must forget everything

that happened here today.

Every moment of it.

Do you hear me?

Thanks.

No problem, Tze-wei.

Yeah, it's no problem at all.

We've called the nursing home.

Your grandpa won't
hear about this. —Good.

Where did you get
the bail money?

Don't worry about
that. Get some rest.

It's no big deal really.

Yeah, Councillor Yang
doesn't mind the least.

You idiot.

Big-Eye.

Please thank him for me

and tell him I'll pay him
back as soon as I can.

OK.

Councillor Yang's family
background revealed.

What's the matter, Dad?

You called me so many times.

W-What's going on?

What did you do with the money?

I had a friend in need.

She's a m*rder suspect.

Do you know how many
voters you just lost?

She didn't k*ll
anyone. She was set up.

What's the point
in telling me that?

Do you know what people
are saying about you?

Do you still want to
run for the election?

Your campaign team has
worked so hard for you.

Use the money for
the right thing

for goodness' sake.

Remember who you are.

In all the years I've
worked for your family

I've never seen
old Councillor Yang

so mad at you.

Fan.

You've worked with
my dad for years.

What does politics
really mean to you?

You're overthinking
things. Relax.

You're just a kid.

You won't have a
criminal record for this.

When I was growing up

my father would often say,

"Politics is simple."

"It's no different from life."

I never understood that

until I was elected
as a councillor

four years ago.

Where there are people,
there is politics.

Politicians are just people

who possess some
degree of authority

so they have a say over matters.

I'm sorry for the storm

of controversy I've started.

I could have stayed out of it

especially since it's
the election period.

But I know the election
is merely a process.

A means for society
to share opinions.

Compared to winning the election

I think it's far more important

to strive for a better society.

The judicial system

has yet to put
Sergeant Hsu on trial.

I believe she is innocent.

I accept all the criticism
levied against me.

I take full responsibility
for all that happened

and respectfully withdraw
from the election.

New Taipei City Councillor Yang

has shocked everyone

by announcing his withdrawal
from the election.

Councillor Yang was campaigning

to get re-elected but has been

embroiled in scandal of late.

Apart from his
alleged love affair

with a female police officer

he was also said to be colluding

with a wanted criminal.

In face of the
barrage of criticism.

Yang Chih-hsiao has
assumed full responsibility

and withdrew from
the election...

Tze-wei?

Tze-wei?

Can I talk to you for a bit?

Tze-wei?

What are you doing here?

You want to give the
paparazzi more fodder?

You even had to withdraw
from the election.

So why are you still here?

It's my decision to pull
out of the election.

It has nothing to
do with anyone.

I walked all the way here.

May I come in and
have a glass of water?

Come in.

Make yourself at home.

Thanks.

I'll return you the bail
money as soon as I can.

Are you avoiding me
because of that article

saying I'm in collusion
with Hu Ta-dong?

That article isn't true.

Hu Ta-dong came to me and said

your father framed
him 23 years ago.

He wanted my help.

I turned him down.

I never agreed to help him.

I know.

Susanna told me you were

one of the pawns in
Hu Ta-dong's plan.

Not his bloody plan again.

Ching-yao told me
the same thing.

I went to see Ching-yao
the other day.

I think he has
something to hide.

He was very evasive.

But before he left, he did say

he was just trying
to protect someone.

I think he was
referring to Susanna.

She's the key.

I'm going to Hong
Kong to see her.

Just stay out of this already.

I left you at the
airport the other day

because I don't you
tangled up in this.

Go home.

Just go home.

Tze-wei...

Tze-wei, listen
to me, all right?

Listen.

It's too late.

I'm already involved.

I have been, since
three years ago.

So let me be with you, OK?

Please?

Hu Ta-dong is after me.

Look at what he did to
Chia-hao and Ching-yao.

I care too much for you.

I don't want that
to happen to you.

Just go. —Tze-wei.

Go back to your
life. —Listen to me.

It's all right...

I'll be fine.

Let's get through
this together. OK?

All right?

I can go back to my life.

But...

I want you to be there with me.

It's all right.

Hong Kong.

Susanna So, Top English Tutor.

This way? OK. Thank you.

Good day, sir. How
may I help you?

I have an appointment
with Ms So.

You're Mr Yang? —Yes.

Ms So is about to finish class.

Go straight and turn right.

This way? —Yes.

Thank you. —You're welcome.

Hello, Tze-wei?

I'm at Susanna's
workplace in Hong Kong.

It's pretty easy to find.

Ching-yao contacted me.
He wants to meet me.

No, that could be dangerous.

I think he needs help.

Don't worry. I'll bring
my colleagues along.

All right. Be careful.

I'll let you know if
I get any information.

Bye, Ms So. —Bye, see you.

Sorry, I know this
is really sudden.

I didn't think you'd
agree to see me.

(Cantonese) Have a seat.

Thanks.

Sorry, I can't really
speak Mandarin.

No worries. I understand
some Cantonese.

Just go with whichever
is easier for you.

I grew up poor.

I studied hard

so that I could get
a good-paying job.

I worked hard to get
to where I am today.

I didn't have time
for relationships

until I met Stanley.

Stanley is so innocent.

And that's why he
gets bullied a lot.

I get what you're saying

but why did you frame Tze-wei?

That's what I don't understand.

Hu Ta-dong has something on me

that can ruin my life.

OK. What can I do to help?

You can't.

That man is a monster.

It all started not
long after Stanley

became friends with Madam Hsu.

Hu Ta-dong appeared in his life.

And offered to make
his problems go away.

He had no idea.

Hu Ta-dong had an
ulterior motive.

That he wanted to frame
Madam Hsu for m*rder.

Susanna.

You've got to trust me.

I'm a councillor.

I do have some
authority in Taiwan.

And Tze-wei really
needs your help.

You won't be able to stop him.

We're all pawns in his game.

He knew you'd come to find me.

He even told me to ask you

if that photo brought
back any memories

for Madam Hsu.

Hold on to my g*n for me.

The sight of it
might agitate him.

Are you sure about this?

He won't hurt me.

Be careful, Tze-wei.

I'm unarmed.

I trust you.

Susanna is safe now.

Tell me what's going on.

You can't help me.

He has something over us.

If I didn't help him

he'll ruin Susanna's life.

She'll never recover from it.

What did you do to Hong Ke-ming?

Why did you pin it on me?

I'm sorry.

I had no choice. I'm sorry.

Ching-yao...

Come with me to
the police station.

I can help you.

Help me?

That's what he said!

But look what happened.

Look at how things turned out.

I'm sorry.

Ching-yao...

I'm sorry...

Hu Ta-dong.

I've brought her here.

Why didn't you pull the trigger?

Didn't you say you would do it?

Do it!

You don't have the guts to?

Don't you want your stuff back?

Ching-yao!

I knew you would wuss out.

Here, you can have it back.

Leave my friends out of this!

Why do you keep coming at me?

I have nothing to do with

what happened 23 years ago.

You have nothing to do with it?

Are you sure?

I don't know...

I don't know what happened

between you and my dad.

You're the ones who k*lled her.

Ching-yao... Ching-yao!

Ching-yao... —Well?

How does it feel?
—Hang in there!

This is how it feels
to see your friend

die before your eyes!

Hang in there...

Remember this moment!

Hang in there!

Don't you dare forget!
—Hang in there.

Call the ambulance!

I'll go after him.

Hu Ta-dong has a g*n. Ribs!

Hurry!

Hang in there...

You must hang in there!

Ching-yao... Ching-yao!

Boss, over here. —A-Syun.

Everything went well? —Yeah.

Car keys? —You're going
to drive yourself?

I have some things to see to.

Take my luggage
back for me. —Sure.
